I am in love with Sign Language. Ever since I was a little girl I have loved this language. It has led me to my fascination and slight obsession with hands. I have an ever growing collection of hands. I was inspired by the website www.skulladay.com and decided I needed to start my own 365 day project. It took me awhile to get the nerve up to start but I thought the best day to begin would be on my 30th birthday so thanks for joining me on this long and wild journey.

Mesh Hand
This hand was made out of a sheet of metal mesh. I have wandered around numerous stores, searching for material to use to make hands. A package of mesh called to me. It was actually harder to work with than I thought. It would tear all the time. I didn't think metal mesh would tear, but I guess it is kind of delicate, so I used a light touch and gentle hand (hehehe) while working with it. I formed the mesh around my own hand which was kind of difficult working with only one hand. I got it to work thought after much manipulation.
